Notes:	Knowledge has developed considerably in recent decades regarding "what works" in the rehabilitation of sex offenders. However, much of this literature has its foundation in correctional or custody-based programmes. It is increasingly recognised that the community is an often unrecognised site where the intervention of sex offenders will occur. This is especially crucial when it is noted that the majority of sex offenders will not be incarcerated for their crimes. However, resources are scarce and there are generally more offenders to be treated than can be accommodated for by Government funded community corrections programmes. This article will discuss the challenges that a private practice in Sydney, Australia has faced in establishing and maintaining an evidence-based group programme for the treatment of sex offenders with discussion of case studies as relevant. This article will conclude with recommendations about how service delivery can be improved for this often neglected section of the community, whereby custody and community-based treatment providers can better work together to provide a through-care model where the rehabilitation needs of offenders are addressed in the interests of community safety.
